Asahi Pentax SMC 120mm f/2.8 K Mount Lens – Very Good Condition

Description
The Asahi Pentax SMC 120mm f/2.8 is a manual focus telephoto prime lens designed for Pentax K-mount 35mm SLR cameras. With a slightly shorter focal length than the more common 135mm, it offers excellent subject isolation and compression for portraiture, travel, and landscape scenes. Its Super-Multi-Coating (SMC) enhances contrast and reduces flare, delivering sharp, character-rich images with vintage charm.

Collectors Notes
Introduced in 1975 and produced for only a few years, the SMC Pentax 120mm f/2.8 is one of the rarer K-series primes. Its 5-element optical design and compact form factor make it a desirable alternative to the 135mm, with smoother handling and distinctive rendering. Highly sought after by collectors and Pentax enthusiasts, especially in clean, original condition.
